Small business owners—including those at an El Monte, California, jewelry store—said an increasing number of smash-and-grabs are hurting their livelihoods, and authorities need to change soft-on-crime policies, after a family fended off an attempted robbery at their store Sept. 2.
Although no merchandise was taken, the owners of Meza’s Jewelry store at 10900 Main St., said the incident resulted in a considerable amount of damage to the store.
